It depends upon how deep the pond is and how thick the ice gets. During frosts in the UK (England) we used to sit a saucepan filled with boiling/hot water on the ice every ten days or so. (Keep replacing the hot water as it cools). This melted a hole in the ice to allow for the exchange of gasses to take place. This may be impossible to do if the weather is too cold. In that case, if the pond is overstocked or not deep enough for the fish to escape from the ice you may suffer heavy losses. Never try to smash through the ice. The heavy vibrations/shock will kill the fish.
